More... 3.3 Based on the different ways in which they affect the brain, psychoactive drugs can be divided into four main groups: depressants (e.g., alcohol and sedatives), stimulants (e.g., nicotine and ecstasy), opioids (e.g., morphine and heroin), and hallucinogens (e.g., PCP and LSD).
So is there any place in the United States an 18-year-old can escape the uniform 21-year-old drinking age? For a while, Louisiana was a safe haven for thirsty teens. To comply with the letter of the national drinking age law, the state passed a law that made it illegal to buy alcohol if you were under 21.
Barry is correct. As an 18 year old in the early 90's, I got my drink on!!!!! Then the new law came about a little later, forcing the legal age to 21. For some time there was a fight, N.O. did not want to comply. Howvever, you now have to be 21 to legally drink.
